Advice for hip flexibility with yoga?

I've been practicing yoga for a while now and Tony Horton has pretty good discs on yoga.

P90X2 has one of the best yoga routines and I still incorporate it into my routine to this day.

I'm pretty sure you can find the disc online to where you don't have to buy the whole set.

Pigeon pose.

Accumulate 5 mins each leg per day in the pose. Fight it until you can no more

I think it's criss cross applesauce or some PC shite like that now.

My wife has had hip and IT band issues for several years with no luck at a solution.

She recently tried Airrosti treatment a few times. She said it hurt like hell and she had bruises for wel over a week but her pain had subsided.

Some think it's a scam with all of those stickers that you see athletes wearing around, however she went to the clinic for a session.

So form your own opinion....

Lizard pose is good and not as intense as pigeon can be.

There is an excellent app: Yoga Studio by Gaiam. It's only $3.99 and you get a ton of classes for all levels classified based on what you need - flexibility, strength, combo. They have classes as short as five minutes or up to an hour.

You can look at each class and see what poses they do before you start. You can also customize classes to just do poses you want to do. I can't always make it to the yoga classes at the rec center so this app has been a life saver.
